Her combination of practical skills coupled with interesting ways to remember the various steps of a repair was amazing. Before the class, I had inexpertly fiddled with my bike, unwilling to waste money at bike shops - with her help I renovated my bike to the point where it rides better than it has for years. In addition, she helped me source appropriate parts and provided guidance as to what needed to be done and what could be left well alone. Her teaching style was incredibly open and relaxed, making this a very non threatening experience. I cannot recommend this highly enough and wish I had discovered Gracie's Wrench earlier.

It was readily apparent on day one that this curriculum and their instructors are top-notch, head and shoulders above other training programs. As a novice injector, not only did I learn the skills to be successful but was able to tap the PNAA team's vast experience and wisdom for all of those pearls that you can only obtain by working side-by-side with a master sensei. Kathy's teaching style in particular is highly educated but relaxed and hands-on. All of the students were eager to learn in this comfortable environment without judgement or pressure. You have assembled a great team and curriculum for success. Kudos! Will be planning on attending the value-added courses coming up to further hone my skills!

This is not a weed shop!…read more Go here for medicinal herbs, roots, leaves, tinctures, cordials, salves, books, spices, herbal smokes (not weed), Etcetera. Create your own tincture blends! They have 2 walls that are 5 shelves high with glass jars full of all the dried plants listing descriptions for each one so you can decide what you need. I've been with this shop since 2008. This shop helped me get rid of horrible, itchy acne I had for 2 years that not even the dermatologists at OHSU could remedy (sure, I had to drink a special tea 3x a day, take herbal capsules 2x a day and steam a few times a week - cleared up in 2 months!). Whether you're a novice or make your own plant medicine, this is the place to go. I will note that sometimes there can be very inexperienced herbalists working on their own who won't be able to answer questions or help you find a solution. Do a little research and follow your gut.

My two sons have been taking guitar and piano lessons from Arthur for 1-2 years and he has managed to keep them interested and learning at the same time. It's rare to find a musician who works so well with kids and is such a great teacher too. He's not just one of those musicians who teach on the side. I completely agree with the other reviewer who notes how he does such a masterful job challenging his students without frustrating them. I have seen my kids make steady progress as musicians. Can't recommend him highly enough.

I've been slowly making my rounds to the many new yarn shops since we moved here last summer. I've…read moredriven past Fiber Rhythm several times, but have been waiting to check it out with my daughter. I was excited to FINALLY get an opportunity to stop in during our mom-and-daughter Galentine's Day adventure. There was one person working there, and they were so sweet, friendly, and helpful. That alone would bring me back again and again. Secondly, the space is airy, well-lit, and delightfully organized, which is very conducive to knowing exactly where to get what you need and also lends itself to relaxed meandering when you don't have a specific need, BUT as all yarn-crafters know, the yarn will let you know you need them. I don't make the rules. There's a fabulous selection of premium, affordable basics, natural, and synthetic fibers. The knitting needles and crochet hooks are behind the counter, so you will have to be intentional here. In places where I don't necessarily need any tools but see one, I tend to buy it. (Please respect my privacy on how many size 6 16" circulars I have purchased.) So, in this regard, Fiber Rhythm is saving me (and my pocketbook) from myself! In addition, there are dyes, several kits, and a winder to self-wind your purchases. To be honest, there was much, much more, but I had parked in a spot where I had to move by 4:00 pm, and we got there at 3:49 pm. This was a literal "speed run" through a yarn store. I look forward to visiting again when the parking godz don't require haste.
